Wage portage
Definition and Benefits
In fact, the consultant offers his services to a client company to carry out a one-off assignment. Once the negotiated mission is granted, he delegates the management of all the administrative tasks generated by his activity to the umbrella company.
An employment contract formalizes this relationship between the ported employee and his employer, which is none other than the porting company he has chosen. The latter concludes a service contract with the client company and sends it an invoice for fees equal to the agreed amount. It collects the fees and pays them back in the form of salary to the paid employee, after deduction of social charges and a commission for management costs.

How wage portage works
Everything becomes much simpler with wage portage
The portage is based on a mode innovative and flexible operation that involves the intervention of three players whose relationships are established through regulatory labor contracts.
It is, in fact, a simple device where the independent consultant , considered as an employee of the umbrella company, is responsible himself for prospecting his missions and negotiating with the client the various elements relating to the intervention (fees , objective, duration, conditions …). The consultant retains full control of his work.
As soon as a verbal agreement is concluded with the client, the consultant contacts the portage company which is responsible for putting in place all the organizational elements necessary for the conduct of the mission. The consultant will ensure its execution and will be remunerated in salaries.

For its part, the portage company will take care of the management of administrative, legal and fiscal formalities related to the service provided by the consultant, in particular:
- Establishment and follow-up of invoices,
- Social and tax declarations,
- Payment of fees,
- Debt collection.
The wage portage company will allow the consultant to receive not these fees, but a remuneration in the form of salary established according to his net turnover, after deduction of charges and a commission corresponding to the management fees. .
To formalize this tripartite contractual relationship, the wage portage company establishes:
A service contract
also referred to as an assignment contract with the client. This contract includes all the terms of the negotiation between the consultant and his client.
An employment contract
with the consultant, who thereby becomes an employee of the umbrella company and benefits, thanks to this contract, from all the advantages granted to the employee under the traditional scheme.
In return, the consultant, within the framework of the relationship of subordination instituted by this employment contract, must deliver to the umbrella company a report on the smooth running of the mission he is carrying out for his client.

Benefits of wage portage for business
Wage portage, the ideal solution for your specific needs for experts and qualified professionals
In an increasingly fragile and uncertain economic context, many companies seek to outsource and subcontract part of their services or projects. Their objective is to minimize the costs due to recruitments while benefiting from the skills of qualified experts.
The use of wage portage to meet specific occasional needs is now the most obvious solution.

Wage portage is indeed the ideal solution to ensure the development of a company, improve its productivity and increase its turnover.
However, the use of this device is now much more regulated since the new government ordinance issued in April 2015 . This ordinance stipulates that the client company can only use wage portage for occasional tasks that do not fall within its normal and permanent activity, or for specific tasks requiring expertise which it does not have internally.
The benefits of wage portage are nonetheless numerous for client companies, in particular:
Flexibility in human resources
- Manage the assignment of personnel according to the needs of the company,
- Facilitate the study of variations in employee activities,
- Optimize the recruitment task within the company.
Flexibility in management
- Simplify administrative, accounting and legal management,
- Avoid links of subordination,
- Facilitate the allocation of research and staff training costs,
- Reduce fixed charges.
Control of subcontracting
- Control your budget statement,
- Outsource adequate tasks,
- Harmonize subcontracting conditions,
- Set a flat rate for access to skills.
